Feature 192--GrafvonEichenlaub1

Early 100 years war

This is a nice watercolor painting of the early 100 years war, don't you think? I have an awful time with watercolor myself, so full compliments over how well he controlled it!
I wonder, too, if this was meant to show something of the actual war or if this is something created from his own stories and characters. Either way, the weapons were drawn well and I enjoy the helmets that the soldiers on the ground are wearing. Lovely job!

Demon of castle Houska

This one was drawn for Halloween of 2001 and I can make up all kinds of stories for it!
Is the demon haunting the place or somehow controlled by it? Has he been sent as a punishment to those high living folks in the castle or is he being sent out to see that the royal family inside remains in control?
On that, I do enjoy how dark the castle and the area around is. Of course we'd see the demon in the stark of night while he plans his next move. Such a fun work!

Ritter in Maximilian style Armor

This is a well done bit of armor! And just look at that weapon he seems ready to bring down onto his foe! May his enemy go down quickly.
On top of that, don't you see how well the armor was drawn? None of it is too busy to distract from the next piece we look at; amazing since it's the whole suit of armor. It's amazing work, don't you think!

I really did enjoy featuring these pieces! To see more of GrafvonEichenlaub1's work, here is the link to his gallery. Hope you like it too!

Feature 97--BeignetBison

Kinchakumi

We're looking at a monster similar to what might be seen in Dark Souls, I imagine? It'd be creepy to come upon this creature, that's for sure. Look how black those arms are. It reminds me of dead flesh you might see in one of those games. Isn't it amazing?
His outfit seems to be something one would wear in ancient Japan or something and I love how the wrinkles and shadows were painted. Wonder how he'd use that stick with all the garlic hanging from it? And let's pay special attention to that bag around his head. It's on fire. It makes me think of those pieces they burn for the scent...burning garlic, in this creature's case!

Au Bord de l'Abime - Battle for Hanoi

BeignetBison mentions that this took him six days to paint. I can see why! Didn't he do an amazing job showing everything that happened in this scene? Especially those fires in the background and the muddy swamp in front...don't you feel for those soldiers stuck there in the center?
The grasses and trees look super, too, they look like they were just right in the scene and interrupted by everything that is going on.
I personally love seeing landscapes, with the whole scene shared before us. Isn't it amazing that he only took six days for all of this?

Singularity

Finally, one other landscape! This one is based on a movie by Denis Villeneuve that I've not really seen. I'm still impressed with this soldier pointing his weapon out the doors of an aircraft; and I hope that the "singularity" doesn't engulf everyone faster than they can escape.
Or it could just be putting an end to that war and cleaning up after it...it doesn't have to be the most horrific thing. This whole piece is meant to be Sci-fi so who knows what is in the middle of that thing. For the sake of the characters, let's hope that it isn't more dangerous than why they were originally there!

These three pieces were all awesome; thank you BeignetBison for letting me share them! To see more of his artwork, go to the provided link to see what all he has in his gallery. It's definitely worth your time!
